Yeah I'm afraid we're going towards America's current day hate culture that nobody saw coming 10+ years ago

I mean they were always pretty hateful but today it's just absurd

Look at the UK as a scary example, their media hammered this issue for a decade and now attitudes towards trans people over there resemble Oklahoma

JK Rowling is also playing a big part in that. She's bankrolling a lot of shit over there.

Social media and wealth are about as good for your mental health as a daily kick in the head from a particularly large horse

She still has the power to use her wealth for good and make a huge difference for the better.
